An unknown Republican Senator is blocking a bill that will require police to obtain a search warrant before accessing emails and online messages. The Hill reported:

An anonymous Republican senator has delayed a vote on legislation that would require police to obtain a warrant before accessing emails and other online messages.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) pushed for a vote on the bill before Congress left for its August recess. He secured unanimous support from Democrats, but at least one Republican objected to the bill, according to a Democratic Senate aide.

Leahy had hoped to fast-track the bill to passage with unanimous support, but the opposition means a vote will be delayed until at least September.

Shouldn't be hard to find out who the anonymouse Senator is. Another anonymouse Senator should leak it to a trustworthy journalista (yes, there are one or two on the conservative side).....and, voila !......the rat Senator doing the blocking will be anonymouse no longer.

"Under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) of 1986, police only need a subpoena, issued without a judge's approval, to force Internet companies to turn over emails that have been opened, or that are more than 180 days old."

"Police" and who else?

"Leahy's bill would not affect the NSA programs, but it would curb the ability of local and federal law enforcement officials to access private online messages."

Yup. The dems are only pushing this to force a vote. That will affect Graham’s primary. Conservatives should also want to force a vote for the same reason.

NSA reading everyone’s emails and facebook is not a popular position. Dems in committee get to vote against it for free (because it will never pass). Graham has to vote No and hurt himself against the tea party candidate.

Darn right we know who to suspect!!! I watch the liberal media, it has to be those KKK, evil Tea Party extremist Nazis, who taken control of the Republican Party and are driving it over a cliff. And the Democrat Party concern trolls are wringing their hands that hispanics won't vote for Republicans in the future.

My guess-estimate is one that our founding fathers such as George Washington and Jefferson would call the fxxxgxxxt traitor from SC who puts America, Americans and our Constitution last on his peckxxg order.

Even those who voted for him do not deserve what they get.

The single most important function of our elected officials is defending our rights and Constitution.

Obviously someone needs to consult the dictionary for the definition of “republican” again. Probably that asshat traitor to conservatives, conservatism and good sense, Juan “Lettuce” McAisleReachingBackStabbingAsshatRINOcain

Cause he colludes with the appeasers in the state party to keep the primaries open, and it STILL costs him $20 a vote to win the primary, conservative money which, I might add, was given to him to defeat The Won. He SHOULD be in jail for fraud.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that after he buys the primary with mis-donated conservative money, the Democrats throw the general by running a token candidate. I think his "opponent" in '10 was the ex-mayor of Tucson or some such pathetic excuse for a candidate.
